  • Barbaro, cause he won the Derby so damn easily.... RIP Big Boy

  • I think Babaro would win I bet if Barbaro didnt break down he would have won the triple crown

  • I honestly think Smarty Jones is better. Barbaro just had a smarter jockey.

  • i liked this video because it was so stupid and the music made me 'lol irl

  • Hard to tell who was better, both very good, neither great

  • no one wouldve even known who barbaro was if smarty jones didnt capture the nation with his triple crown bid in 2004. also the belmont was his only loss, and theres a conspiracy idea out there they the jockeys tried to sabotage him. but barbaro was an amazing horse too, he just got a bad break. but i think smarty wouldve won.

  • waste of time

  • I'm sorry but you're all ridiculous for arguing over this. It's impossible to say who would've won. And quite frankly it doesn't matter. There's no point comparing them. None. Both were brilliant racehorses and both have their place in history.

  • wasted click

  • What the???? Is this a joke? I Hope So

  • Going off their Derby finish times, this video is correct.

    Barbaro- 2:01.36

    Smarty Jones- 2:04.06 Thats a difference of 2.7 seconds and that is a sizeable margin in a horse race.

    Theoretically, both horses would have been beaten by Secretariat- 1:59 2/5

    which is a world record that still stands.

  • @jmdnarri I agree, Barbaro's time was better. But Smarty Jones won the derby on a sloppy track, so that might've affected his time

  • @jmdnarri you can't compare times on two different track conditions. On was a sloppy track. The only accurate comparison would be if track conditions were were the same. Also take into account post positions and racing room.

  • u guys are stupid......smarty jones would beat barabaro...i understand barbaro was a goodrace horse but smarty jones is way better.

  • barbaro totally wouldve won, he had a kick to give at the end that woldve given him the advantage

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • They are both great race horses but barbaro has a slight edge because he was more versitile. He ran on turf

  • smarty jones would do to barbaro what secretariat did to sham in 1973. the skill of 2006 was horrible. barbaro won 8 races and failed to finish the preakness which technically is same as finishing last. smarty jones won the preakness by the largest margin of victory ever in that race. oh, and who beat smarty jones, birdstone went on to sire 2 tripple crown race winners, smarty jones had competition level higher than any since 1978. Barbaro is the most overrated horse in the history of horses

  • Barbaro, Was known to be or could have been one of the best race horses in americas history =D True Fact also

  • Ruffian and Rags to Riches are the best according to me

  • unlike most other commenters, i admit that i have noooo idea how Smarty Jones won!!! because I'm NOT racing fan, I don't even think I was alive for the race where SJ won and if I was, I didn't watch it! I love Barbaro he was amazing, but you guys no matter hooow much you debate this, we have NO way of knowing because we will NEVER see it!!! HAHA!

  • your a jerk

  • why am i a jerk? *pouts* i wasn't laughing that we'll never see it, i was laughing cuz everyone seems to think they KNOW who will win.

    oh and correction: i WAS alive when smarty jones raced just nvr watched it.

  • Barbaro gets too much attention! Smarty Jones is the real winner! Smarty Jones won a harder Kentuckey Derby than Barbaro did. Barbaro was against all of the loser 3 year olds!

  • Barbaro Was so much better the Smarty Jones, He would have won hands down

  • Belmont by ten lengths?? Yeah maybe the Bird could've if borel wasn't so ignorant. So borel made the move,so did the horse. The Bird has the heart and the jock has shit between his ears.

  • To this point the BIRD IS THE WORD. No roids.

  • Barbaro was bred for distance, not speed. His sire Dynaformer is one of the lead sires of distance horses(this is what differs him from all recent TC threats such as Big Brown, SJ, Funny Cide, War Emblem, Real Quiet, and Silver Charm, all of whom sires were sprinters).

    Where they faltered at Belmont, Barbaro would have been right at home. The longer the race the more he would pull away. If he could have held off Bernardini at Pimlico, I believe he would have won the Belmont by over 10 lengths.

  • Cont.- Prado said he was still pulling on the reigns trying to hold Barbaro back put he simply could not restrain him. I think Barbaro had another gear that we never got to see because he never needed to use it (and we WOULD have gotten to see it in the Preakness vs. a very talented Bernardini).

  • I don't like all these comments where people are like I love Smarty or Barbaro so he would have won for sure. Just because you love that horse does not mean he has more talent. Anyways...

    It was a tragedy we never got to see each of them race out a full career. However with that said, I believe Barbaro would have won pulling away. Barbaro toyed with the most talented Derby field in recent memory under a hand ride. Cont.

  • I believe smarty jones was an incredible horse. If he didnt hurt his new in the race he would of won and toke the triple crown. Barbaro was a great horse too but i believe smarty jones is way better then him.

  • i dont think any of us got to see Barbaros true potential. I believe he could have won the preakness and then gone on to snatch the Triple Crown. He looked great at the beginning of the preakness, and in the post parade..but after the first few strides....well we all know what happened

  • smartys smarter!!!!!

  • Smarty Jones shoulda won. He was the better horse, period.

  • Here's the difference between Barbaro and Big Brown, Big Brown's trainer is a dumbarse who drugs his horses and look what happened to him in the belmont when he wasn't using drugs, dur da dur, all steroids should be banned, its not fair to others not to mention its hurting the horse

  • also i was veiwing the comments about Barbaro and big brown. Barbaro would kick big brown's big butt in the dirt. and apparently alot of you who are throwing mean comments at Barbaro apparently dont learn enough about him!!

  • johnmonk there is nothing wrong with loving animals more than loving humans in my opinion. Animals will always be the best things you'll ever know and dont judge you!and they certantly dont post stupid comments like yours

  • Yay Barbaro!!!

  • cool lol!

  • Barbaro is the Best race horses there very live. I love Barbaro. Sweet Dreams Barbaro

  • On the Contraiy. Secertairet was the best race horse. But hey, everyone has their opinion.

  • (: In my opinion, most of the people who claim Barbaro as their favourite is only because they were alive at the time Barbaro raced.

  • I am one of the few I know who believe that Barbaro was going to be no match for Bernardini in the preakness.

    I agree with farfieldracing, Barbaro was great but not in my favourites.

  • Barbaro, would have won ;D

  • Smarty Jones would have beaten Barbaro. Barbaro was great, Smarty was better.

  • stupid smarty Jones!!!WE LOVE BARBARO

  • it's a shame Barbaro died.

    R.I.P. Barbaro!

    we love you!

  • Wahhooo!! Yay Barbaro!! :)

  • ok look everyone if you have a horse then you can show ur butt all you want (like me) but if u dont have a horse just shut up!!!!!!!!!

  • barbaro abd samrty jones are both good hosrs and i miss then very much

  • yea barbaro you both are good horses

  • by the way, I feel more stupid just having watched this and actually replying to a comment.

  • Big Brown is a wonderful horse, and should win the Triple Crown. What makes the game so great is that everyone has their favorite horse. Mine has always been Seattle Slew. Then 2006 came and so too did Barbaro. Talk about a magnificent horse. Fate however took him much too soon. Just as it did with Ruffian, Go For Wand and so many others. Barbaro changed my life. It was in the midst of my greatest trial that he raced and set the standard for what it is to be a champion.

  • smarty jones would wreck

    if it wasnt for birdstone he'd have the effing crown

  • i would delete this stupid shit as fast as you can!

  • barbaro would whip big brown, big brown is only gonna win the triple cron because he is racing against crap

  • that's funny you should say that,since Big Brown's Fla. Derby time was faster than Barbaro's and he ran from the 12 post. Big Brown also set suicidal fractions in that race, and held on without a problem. Big Brown would win by 2 lengths.

  • Barbaro won from the 10 post which had never been done before from that distance at Gulfstream.

    Big Brown could maybe of beaten Barbaro by a nose or head(unlikely), but 2 lenghts!? That's wishful thinking. About as wishful as the Guadalcanal faithful believing their horse has a shot at winning tomorrow!

    Barbaro would beat Big Brown by a neck...too much heart.

  • I'd have to say Smarty

  • big brown is faster than both these hags

  • Yea Big Brown is faster came out last in the Belmont sure he is really fast.

  • at least he didnt die running it like the weak boned barbaro

  • shu up bitch barbaro is not weak boned

  • break a leg

  • fuck off

  • try loving a human, instead of famous horses

  • shut up barbaro wasnt weak boned!!

  • he is dog food, go use glue, they make that out of ground up horse cartilage

  • oh my gosh your so stupid! i bet you like horses being slaughtered! you know your really heartless.

  • no, people who love horses more than other people are sick. ask a horse lover to name ten horses they love and they have no problem, ask them to name ten people and they are stumped.

    those without the courage to love people, love animals instead.

  • ok first off thats not true..cause i could name ten horses in no time and i could also name ten people without one single promblem..its called having and open heart wich in this case you musnt have one at all.

  • absolute falshood. i know 'horse lovers', and they all live alone without friends. you are all a sad, lonely, pathetic bunch.

  • you're an asshole. i bet you have no friends.

  • U R REALLY MEAN

  • i am mean to people who love animals more than people, it's a sickness. loving animals is easy, they are dependant on humans for survival, most animal lovers are terrible human beings

  • yeah well im a nice one so=]

  • MOST ANIMAL LOVERS are really sympathetic to poor humans as well. i for one prefer to love animals more than my arrogant race of humans which know only of wars and killings among the disbelief that we are the top race on earth .animals only know to love and to give back double from what they get what have you ever done to another human as a good deed? animals that are dependant to humans is cause we made them be not because they had a choice over it so please u ar a sick person here

  • exactly, you love animals more than people

    you proved my point

    its easy to love animals

    you are the sick one

  • clearly!!

    its really funny calling me sick cause i love animals lolololol

    you are the sick one here mate .

    but its ok cause we need some balance in the world .

    loololololololol

  • you are just too lazy to put in the work at loving a human

    keep loving your animals, they will never tell you that you are a loser

  • loser? cause he loves animals ? am whats ur problem ?

  • read all the comments before posting your stupid opinion

  • Ummm i no i shudnt but in with all ur comments but it doesnt matter who loves who so long as ur happy and belive in wat u want.

    but, animals have feeling to u no just like us and they also have their way of telling us that our love for them is aprciated.

  • i know horses that can spell better than you can

  • I understand what you mean. For after getting let down so many times by various people you loose trust in them. And you get unconditional love from a pet. They don't make fun of a bad hair day etc...

  • you're sick! I love horse racing and horse and i have dozens of friends! mandyandmax is right. Maybe you're the one without friends!

  • someone with a youtube video as retarded as yours should shut the hell up

  • gee thanx if you look thats not even my video

    i favorited it because i filmed it but did not post it

    i dont have an account to make videos but to watch them and comment them although i will be making one soon.

    Still you have a cold heart if you can talk about wonderful animals like that and not be ashamed.

  • there are hundreds of you horse loving freaks on here and not one of you have a single video asking to help love a human being. horses are easy to love, loving people is too much work

  • maybe for you

    why do you care

  • everyday i come home one of you fakes has commented. my first post was simple, but you fakers keep coming on here and opening your pie holes

  • too bad

  • u are an example of an individual belonging to the human race arrogant & full of hatred and so full of itself that actually believes that the human race should Bthe only one leaving on this planet as a top species.we r a PEST Of THIS PLANET including me and we shall Bthe death of earth and the poor other species that had the bad luck to live along sideus.loving humans is really a hard job ask the seals in the north.u is the freak here not us who happen to love an animal more than u TOP SPECIES

  • Lmao!!!! i no how to spell u fool, some of my writing was in short term. anyways i was tipsy when i wrote that comment lol!

  • erm.....wth?

  • they were both REALLY good horses so if you think its stupid then ur retarded!!!!!!!!!1

  • this is stupid cause both horses were just as equally good and if you call me an asshole YOU have no life

  • lol xd

  • lol

  • i want those seconds of my life back now, please. I could have used them on better things, like eating.

  • fat ass.

  • you too. no srsl. get a life!

  • maybe take a walk. Or jump up and down. Just stop eating so much you goddam clown. Nobody likes fat asses. you qualify as the fattest, most disgusting jackass on the face of the earth. What a goodam fat ass you are.

  • dude, calm down, it was a joke?!

    Am I fat? orly? My BMI is 15, so fuck off.

    how can you say i'm fat when you don't even know what I look like.

    jerk.

  • I can tell. You're a fat ass no bones about it (no pun intended). It's not my fault. It's your fault you jiggling blob of lard.

  • omg lol :D someone should shoot your retarded ass. how old are you, 13?! you act like it anyway.

    well, nice chattin' with you asshole, but this is a big, fat waste of time. I hope you find some friends one day.

  • someone seriously needs to shoot your retarded ass.

  • i want my 52 seconds of life back

  • ME TOO!

  • Yea. There are people saying Barbaro is a hero because he fought for life. It's not exactly fighting when you have a surgey like every week. And because he broke his sesamoid bones in a race. Just 'cause Smarty suffered a fracture outside a race and he didn't die,doesn't make him any less a great racehorse.Both horses are good racers though. I wish some people would consider it a real sport.Because it's filled with athletes. However, if there was no betting, nobody would say it's a sport.

  • This is the BEST video ever.

  • This is retarded.

    Personally I'd lean towards Barbaro to win between the two. But in all honesty - WHO FREAKIN KNOWS?!! Two different years, two different horses (one alive one passed on for that matter), you can't compare them. They're both greats.

  • Smarty Jones was cheated in the belmont. Jerry Bailey and another jockey rode the race for him to lose. Its true, read Jerry Baileys file on Wikipedia

  • Wikipedia's not a reliable source. Sorry

  • jockeys riding a race to fuck another jock? you never knew that? what planet are you from?

  • This is really dumb, both of the horses were incredible, but alas we will never know how great either one would have been. I have deep feelings for both horses,since I started following them both back in their 2 yr.old seasons. I doubt the maker of this thing did!!!!!!!!

  • this is the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

    ever.

  • its really annoying me that people r comparing barbaro and smarty jones. i luv barbaro, but nobody can say that he would've won the triple crown cuz we dont know that. we never will. and the only reason smarty jones isnt as famous as barbaro was b/c he didnt break his leg. i m being neutral b/c nobody knows and quite frankly u r pretty stupid 2 be so sure about who would win a match race that will never happen.

  • I don't think it really matters. Barbaro, I believe is by far greater. Smarty was incredible especially after his come back from is skull being smashed, and Barbaro's story is sad but still..Barbaro was idk just it seems he would have won by a lot more O.o in the virtual thing since it won't ever happen...O.o

  • ya i kno definately barbaro

  • Barbaro would've won too! lol

    RIP big B

  • wow. you must have alot of time on your hands

  • Heh heh, cool.

  • I LOVE BARBARO! RIP BARBARO!

  • God this video is soo funny XDDD

  • what would be the most widely considered top 10 horses of all time?

  • well according 2 bloodhorse the top ten horses r: 1. man o'war 2. secretariat 3. citation 4. kelso 5. count fleet 6. dr. fager 7. native dancer 8. forego 9. seattle slew 10. spectacular bid

  • wtf

  • y do u say wtf that is the list according 2 bloodhorse and i think its pretty accurate

  • i think he said wtf about the video

  • Barbaro never got the chances but we all know he was going to be a great one!!!!

  • i'd like 2 hope so

  • No chance?! He won like what 6 races?! That's a good horse. He had more of a chance than some other horses.

  • i will end this argument over who is better. there is no way 2 no who is better b/c u cant compare 2 horses who faced different horses in different conditions & never faced each other. smarty jones is not just a horse if he was injured i wouldnt be suprised if he got more attention than barbaro b/c he is a legend & appyflop u r an idiot 4 insulting barbaro his kentucky derby was considered 2 be 1 of the deepest fields ever so if u want 2 fight w/ me u can but im right. case closed.

  • Thank you. I agree with everyone one of your statements.

  • r u responding 2 me?

  • I didn't think Smarty Jones was that great of a horse. He just gave up in one of his races.

  • I think Smarty Jones was a good horse. And i really dont think he gave up in the Belmont. I just think it wasn't wise to use most of his energy on the backstretch trying to be in the lead when it didnt matter.

  • This would of been a great real life match race!!!

  • what was the point?? and they both were great horses, I mean, they both put up with being raced!!

  • Also, in the Derby, Edgar Prado never even used the whip on Barbaro to ask for his top speed. If he would have used it he could have shaved another second or two off Barbaro's time but he was ahead by so much he didn't need it.

  • Two totally different fields, totally different trips, and totally different track surface. you can't compare them!

  • I agree. people stop fighting about how good big brown is. we all know hes amazing! so can't we just accept that instead of blaming it on the other three year olds. I think you can't compare them

  • what the FUCK was the point of that

  • that was weird

  • that was stupid

  • smarty jones is just a horse.

    BARBARO IS A LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i agree!

  • yes, debate to be continued through messages.

    (even though most of us of whom are more knowledgeable about racing know Smarty would've won without a doubt)

  • it would have been an amazing race if Smarty Jones and Barbaro would have faced off. They both were champions.

    It would have been cool if they had won the Triple Crown, but even if Barbaro hadn't been injured Bernardini would have given Barbaro a lot of trouble in the Preakness, he definately wouldn't have walked away with the Preakness like he did the Derby.

  • "in our hearts barbaro won the triple crown and that's all that matters". oh dear, what sentimental crap. Barbaro was good and so was Smarty Jones. Would have been a good race. No more can be said on the subject. It is rubbish to say that Barbaro was definitely better than Smarty or vice versa.

  • no it aint its fact that Barbaro was better!

  • I agree with you, fm3544, about we don't know who was better since Barbaro's racing career was cut short, but its very rude to make fun of people for how they feel about Barbaro or any other horse.

  • Mmk well if you bothered to look back on my previous posts you'll see that I provided more than just "he was just stupid."

    Please get your facts straight before accusing people.

  • psh Smarty Jones was way better than Barbaro EVER was.

  • haha, u r so fuckin stupid 4 actually thinkin that Smarty Jones was better then Barbaro! Barbaro was wayyy better then Smarty Jones, so remember that!

  • Barbaro woulda run circles around Smarty Jones for fun.

  • um.. again 2 let yall ALL know Barbaro would have beaten Smarty Jones. So if u think dat Smarty Jones could have beaten Barbaro u can shut da fuck up cuz u wrong!!!!

  • all I know that Barbaros is americas horse and he is famous and in our hearts he won the triple crown thats all it matters.

  • uh, you should be the one shutting up. Smarty Jones is WAY better. Barbaro's just stupid. he gets way too much credit for glorious accomplishments he never did.

  • BITCH. u can shut the fuck up because u dont know what the hell u r talkin about! He WOULD have been the next Triple Crown Winner if he didnt take a bad step. see Barbaro never got the chance, but Smarty Jones did, but Smarty Jones couldnt stay in front so he loss. Barbaro would have he would have won. i know this because of Barbaros wounderful speed! and he aint gettin credit its just everyone knows he would have been the next Triple Crown Winner! so u shut the fuck up!

  • Yeah that's because his jockey was an Ass and gunned him through 1 mile and a half. I'd like to see you run a race against the best 3yo colts on that distance at top speed and still ahve enough energy to win. And he did come in pretty close since he came in second by not that far. Smarty Jones is the superior horse. And he won the Kentucky derby in the Mud and sog and rain.

  • Barabro won it but the track conditions were excellent. And his leg gave way in the Preakness on a perfectly good track WHICH MEANS his legs were too fragile OR he'd been run to hard in the Derby which leads me to conclude : His legs had no ohysical endurance and he should have not passed on his genes to any mare unless she had good strong almost heavy legs.

  • Again I'm not saying Barabro wasn't a good horse or that he doesn't deserve the crown. What I'm saying is that his own conformation and genes failed him... In other words he wasn't perfect enough to win the crown. And I said it was something to DEBATE so I'm not saying he COULDN'T have won it I'm just syaing it's questionnable. Don't get me wrong here I supported his recovery and was shattered when I learnt he died. He was a wonderful boy but my love for him can't overshadow the facts!

  • he wasnt perfect enough. did you even watch the fucking derby? nothing failed him. what part of he took a bad step dont you understand? n i didnt say you said he couldnt win im sayin it AINT QUESTIONNABLE, its fact Barbaro would have won the tripe crown! n obviously you dont know the facts because you keep talking bullshit. so shut the fuck up. you dont know nothing so stop trying to hold a fight on here

  • You're so immature. You make me laugh. Not to mention none of your arguements make sense. Barbaro was never up against any good horses. You should be the one shutting up, hun.

  • THANK YOU!!! I've been thinking this all along!!! Someone who's actually taking in the fact that I'm giving ensible arguments here!

  • no kidding, your arguements are actually reasonable, unlike SOMEONE ELSE we know. all she's saying is a bunch of crap about "YOU JUST SHUT UP YOU'RE SO STUPID EVERYONE KNOWS BARBARO WAS BETTER." umm, very convincing... and using all that garbage talk isn't getting you anywhere, my dear friend uoflgirl. not to metnion, everyone knows Smarty was better.

  • lets get somethings straight: you dont know me. another thing we arent friends. oh and i have tons of people that are in the horse buisness that say Barbaro would have beaten Smarty Jones. also Barbaro could run on both dirt and turf, Smarty only ran on dirt. another thing STOP SAYING SMARTY JONES COULD HAVE BEATEN BARBARO BECAUSE GUESS WHAT HE COULDNT!

  • now how do u know that barbaro would have won? smarty never had the chance to run on turf so that's not fair. i love them both, and im being the smart one by not drawing conclusions that are impossible to make.

  • What difference would turf experience make?

    I agree with the last thing you said though. No one knows.

  • Some horses simply run better on dirt, others on turf. Some people say it's what the horses prefers.

  • Besides look at Ruffian, my favorite racing filly of all time she was running, she didn,t trip or anything but her leg still cracked in two like a twig! Her legs couldn't carry her where her heart wanted to go.

  • yes he did

  • Have you seen pictures of Man O' War? You may notice he had a heavyier build and his legs were thicker. It's our own fault since we started breeding thinner more refinded horses in hope it'd make them faster. WRONG THING TO DO! Indeed if an average haflinger weighs around 1100 lb imagine a 16h very muscualr thoroughbred. His legs just couldn't carry him further. And lots of horses take 'bad steps' and that doesn't literally crush their legs.

  • Barbaro had more heart of then On the track. And if you dont belive that track conditions determine a horse's preformance then I can't take you seriously since you obviously don't know a thing about hrose racing. Oh and I don't need to get hyped up and use dirty language to make my point's value.

  • i do know about horse racing. it runs in my blood. my daddy was a jockey so i have to know about horse racing or there would be something wrong. and i didnt say the track conditions didnt detemine a horses preformance, i said that its speed, talent and heart doesnt detemine on the track conditions. a horse either has a good heart or not, a horse either has talent or not and they are fast or they are not, i dont see where the track comes into place.

  • funny how you suddenly stopped using dirty language. hmm.

    and I highly doubt that what you say is true.
